The mosque is located at 560 Fayetteville Road in the southeastern part of the city. It was first established when Elijah Muhammad purchased a property on Bankhead Highway. The property was disputed after his death, however, and the mosque was then moved to Fayetteville Road under the leadership of Warith Deen Mohammed. In 1990, an abandoned shopping center was bought by its members which was then renovated to what is known today as the mosque.
The mosque identifies itself under the association of late Imam Warith Deen Mohammed, who was the son of the former Nation of Islam leader, Elijah Muhammad. Mohammed guided its members to the practice of Sunni Islam of which the mosque identifies today under the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad. It has both men and women congregants, with women making up 30 percent during the Jumu'ah prayers.
